Octopus

[cornyfish]

Any1 knows where selling octopus, and also roughly the cost?

I remember seeing a baby one before in the big pet shop on the first floor of Eastpoint (beside simei mrt) selling for $6.. but now that i've an extra marine tank up and running, these creatures seem to have all but disappeared from all the LFSes i've come across..

Thanks in advance!!

Is illegal to own a blue ring octopus as a pet in Singapore. Those LFS selling is being very irresponsible.

Errr.. that's scary isn't it.. 1 bite and bye bye..

What abt the normal one u were referring to? is it poisonous? And i'm wondering: do they release their black ink into the water and kill themselves and everything else in the process?

Have u done research on how to keep them?

hi bro ...

the normal one are harmless but clolour are more dull...... thay eject ink as a sort of protection to blind their attackers vision.... which in return the ink will foul the water if filter medum is not strong enough to filter it away ...
